NDA Enforcement After auto-renewal trapped me in 3-year deal

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

auto-renewal trapped me in 3-year deal. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 6 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $45,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, UCC Article 2. Your state may provide additional protections.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
